Albert M. Bonin (Retired)

No case is too complex for Mr. Bonin; he frequently takes cases involving large assets, complex custody and parenting time, support, abuse and matters across state and international borders.

For over two decades, Mr. Bonin has been included in the treatise, The Best Lawyers in America ®, and he is listed as one of Metropolitan D.C.’s best family law attorneys every year in The Washington Post Magazine and in Super Lawyers®. For years he has received the highest attorney “AV” rating from Martindale-Hubbell, a leading site rating legal professionals.

He is proud to have served as President of the Fairfax Law Foundation. He is listed as one of the Top Lawyers in Northern Virginia Magazine for child custody matters. Part of what distinguishes Mr. Bonin and the law firm is that each attorney limits the number of cases they accept. Mr. Bonin understands that an attorney may have many clients, but a client only has one attorney. Therefore, he only takes on a few cases at a time in order to provide a level of service that exceeds the client’s expectations.

Aside from the honors mentioned above, Mr. Bonin has held several positions in local, state and national organizations. He is a Past Chair of the Fairfax Bar Association Circuit Court Committee, Mr. Bonin received the “Chair Award” for outstanding service.

Mr. Bonin is also proud to be a Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and he served as a chapter President of this prestigious organization. He is a Fellow of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and International Academy of Family Lawyers.

Mr. Bonin is licensed to practice in Virginia, Colorado and D.C. In Colorado he was the recipient of the Outstanding Professional of the Year Award on two occasions. He was instrumental in writing legislation that eliminated the words “custody” and “visitation” in Colorado, changing how parents view their relationship to one another and their parental responsibilities.

He served as the chair of the Colorado Supreme Court Ethics Committee. He was listed by 5280 magazine as one of Denver’s top lawyers. He was coauthor of the two-volume treatise, Domestic Relations Forms and Practice, by Lexis Law Publications. Mr. Bonin has had the unique privilege of lecturing nationally and internationally on all aspects of family law.
